This is a clone of Samurai Aces (Large)Incomplete pixel font set, based on the shop sequence of the Bitmap Brothers' Amiga shooter "Xenon 2: Megablast" (1989). Designed to be used aliased at a size of 5px (or multiples thereof). Originally posted at http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/61/
A thin proportional font, based on the title sequence of the Bitmap Brothers' "Chaos Engine" (1993).
Designed to be used aliased at a size of 9px (or multiples thereof).
Originally created in 2004 based on the Amiga version, and extended in 2012. Repackaged in 2022, with a small tweak to the exclamation, question, and quote marks, and the addition of the ampersand from the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES versions.
Last (hopefully) final tweaks now 27/08/2022, fixing the "G", "V", "X", "1", "9", adding a copyright symbol, and tweaking the spacing and vertical position of some of the punctuation marks, referencing the SNES version some more.

Note the strangely cut off "?", "j", "g" (indistinguishable from "q") and round brackets.
This recreation uses "Upper half block" (U+2580) for what would be a (non-standard) "Upper one quarter block"), the "Lower one eighth block" (U+2581) to "Full block" (U+2588) sequence of block elements, "Light shade" (U+2591) for the diagonal pattern, "Medium shade" (U+2592), and "Dark shade" (U+2593) for the vertical pattern.
Individual games use some custom symbols which don't map easily to unicode and have not been included.

Recreation of the katakana pixel font from Konami's "Dracula II: Noroi no Fūin" (aka "Castlevania II: Simon's Quest", 1987) on the Nintendo Famicom.
While the title screens use the same latin font as the western releases (see Castlevania 2 - https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/682905/castlevania_2_1), this font is used in the game itself (including the dialog boxes and inventory/menus) . In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned to the right of the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
The font also includes a set of basic box drawing elements (U+2501, U+2503, U+250F, U+2513, U+2517, U+251B).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Almost identical to previous Dizzy fonts, with a few minor tweaks to the "R", "4", and "9", as well as the addition of accented and special characters.
In this recreation, I added a few more variants of the accented characters, to make the font more useful. Apart from these, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

The tile set contains a full set of hiragana and katakana, but as the game does not use them (with the exception of the CJK quotation marks U+300C and U+300D, which are used - confusingly - to quote english dialogue in the end cinematic), these have not been added here.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
